WHEN YOU ARE GONE...

I saw an angel, I smiled, it smiled back at me, I was changed.
That was when I saw you, a flash and you were into my life, I was blessed.
Just the eyes talked, words were not needed
I knew I had found a hand to walk me through the edges.

They say everything happens for a reason, but I couldn't figure out your coming into my life.
They say love can move the mountains, but it sure did move my life.
I wanted to hold you, to touch you, to feel you, to know that you are for real.
All the things you did for me, it all had a special feel.

The way you used to wake me up with those coffee mugs singing my fav song.
The way you used to put aside those locks that disturbed my sleep for long.
The way you used to kiss my pimples when i used to freak out at their sight.
The way you used to hold me tight and held my hand when i was scared at night.

I had given my soul to you and so without you I ain't me.
In the 50 yrs we had been together, everyday you surprised me
Oh! You think I can forget those funny faces you made when I was not at my best.
Just to cheer me up and see a smile on my face, damning all the rest.

You would sit all night listening my crap, I would never stop talkin.
When all you wanted to do was to grab a pillow and spend the night sleepin.
But still you would nod and laugh when I tell you how I snapped at my boss today.
And you would never even raise an eyebrow no matter how big a mistake.

I loved to see that popping vein above your eyebrow when I sighed at Tom Cruise's sight
Next day you would try to have that smile and bod with all your might.
You would tease me for my past relationships and you would call me names
And when I cried you could not sleep all night just seeing my heart break.

On our golden anniversary you did all those things I loved, for me
You danced with me in rain, you sat on the harley behind me,
You took me to Alps on our 50th honeymoon, I was over the pinnacle of jubilation.
We used to walk and sit hand in hand beside a moon-lit lake watching our own reflection.

We had more love than people would have in their seven lifetimes together
Even a second I had spent with you would seem forever.
If only I could stop the time then, I would pray to HIM,
And you would wipe away all my tears, I know you hated 'em.

When you were here, the things had some life..
The whole world around me was smiling or may be a whim of my mind.
But whatever!!!
I found love. I found hope. I found thee.
I found the essence of my existence. I was lost out there, I found real me.

Today I am standing beside the moon lit lake again but ur not by my side,
There is one question that keeps coming back...Why are you not here with me tonight???
Dawns have become nights to me.
Life has become a plight to me.

Its enough, I have pretended to be strong for long.
There were so many things I had wanted to say along
YOU took my life with you and so my dreams died with you,
I had never said it when we were together but now I say that I LOVE YOU...
